Gendered Dichotomies in African Youth Language and Language Practices: Urban and Rural Spaces, Virtual and Real-Life Gendered Discourses
2022
Overview
Youth language data provides interesting perspectives on gender dynamics and gendered usage in society. However, the gender perspective has notreceived the deserved focus in youth language studies in Africa.This is partly due to the general perception that youth languages and classic youth language practices, such as slangand anti-language, are male-oriented. This collected volume focuses on gender dynamics and gendered usage in African youthlanguages and youth language practices, against the backdrop of urbanity as well as rurality. With representations from different parts of Africa, the volume examines sundry youth usage in different contexts and domains. While avoiding strict binarizations and potentially flawed dichotomies, the contributing scholars observe some of the motivationsfor different gender performatives and how these manifest in a variety of language forms and through predominated categories of use. Data samples were obtained through sociolinguistic and anthropological instruments, ranging from questionnaires and structured interviews to street-based observations and corpus analyses. On the whole, the volume engages the literature and debate on language, youth, and especially on gendering dynamics in African youth language practices.
